It contains following applications:

  • main-app
  • email-service (optional)
  • report-service (optional)
  • trend-service (optional)

  • Run mvn clean install at root
  • Run docker-compose -f _config/docker-compose.yml up at root to start docker containers
  • Go to main-app folder and run mvn to start the application

Option 2 - automatically start KeyCloak and ActiveMQ using TestContainer while application is starting

  • Run mvn clean install at root
  • Go to main-app folder and run mvn -Pdev,withTestContainer to start the application

Option 3 - run from IDE

  • import into your IDE and compile the full project and run the Application.java on main-app module
  • Update run configuration to run maven goal wro4j:run Before Launch. It should be after 'Build'

Run Tests using Maven Daemon

mvnd test -Dparallel=all -DperCoreThreadCount=false -DthreadCount=4 -o

Once the application starts, open http://localhost:8081 on your browser. The default username/passwords are listed on : gt.app.Application.initData, which are:
